California Roll

California Roll – easy homemade California roll. Learn how to make this popular sushi with the step-by-step picture guide and recipe.

Everyone loves California Roll, a delicious sushi wrapped with nori (seaweed) and stuffed with crab, cucumber and avocado. I am a huge fan of California Roll; the dainty California Roll is a must-have for me whenever I dine out at Japanese restaurants.

Today, I am going to teach you how to make California Roll, with a step-by-step picture guide so you can have it anytime you want. While you can make California Roll with crab meat, most California Roll you get at restaurants are made with imitation crab meat. Imitation crab meat products are widely available at grocery stores nationwide, such as my favorite Louis Kemp Crab Delights®, which are made from Alaska Pollock and real snow crab. They are a great source of protein, low in calorie and cholesterol, gluten-free and high in omega 3’s.

To make sushi at home, you will need a few basic tools. I urge you to shop online for a sushi kit. The toughest part about homemade sushi is the assembling and rolling of the sushi roll. You will need to master the techniques of rolling and tugging the sushi really compact and tight so they turn out beautiful, with a perfect texture. I will warn you that your first sushi roll will never be easy but practice makes perfect, and in no time, you will be rolling sushi like a pro!
